It's interesting getting old: more and more of the people you meet have lived their entire life in what seems like a thin layer of the now. It gets a bit hard to take them seriously.

I recommend spending time in my social circle: extraordinarily brilliant kids with a strong mathematical bent. The better you know them, the more seriously you take them. They're not erudite, but they're dazzlingly penetrating and original. Really inspiring.

I'm increasingly regretting what I said, because "taking seriously" has many dimensions and I meant just one, which turns out to be quite hard to make precise. Tweet in haste, repent at leisure.
